Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of English etymology, exploring the origins and meanings of words derived from Greek, Latin, and French. Published in 1821, the book reflects a time when classical languages were considered essential for learning and scholarship. The author argues that understanding the roots of words is crucial for a deeper understanding of the language itself, particularly for those who engage in scholarly discourse and writing. The book examines how the English language has evolved over time, tracing its development from the influence of Saxon roots to the subsequent influx of words from continental languages. The author also discusses the significance of foreign phrases, which were increasingly used in legal, political, and social settings. By analyzing the components of words and phrases, the author aims to provide a valuable resource for understanding the nuanced meanings and historical influences that shape the English language. This book offers a unique perspective on the rich tapestry of English vocabulary, revealing the intricate connections between language and history.
